Horizon Zero Dawn Remasteredfeatures avast open world begging to be exploredby Aloy. However, traveling solely on foot is neither fun nor practical, which is why the game includes a mount mechanic that lets players ride across the world on mechanical beasts.
Although there aren’t actual horses,Horizon Zero Dawn Remasteredoffers the next best thing: robotic mounts. Different types of mounts are available in the game, each with their own advantages. The guide below covers how to acquire and summon these mounts.
How To Unlock Mount Ability In Horizon Zero Dawn
Aloy won’t be able to use mounts right from the start. First, she mustcomplete the main quest “The Womb of the Mountain,”which grants her thePSI Override ability. This ability allows her to override seven types of enemy robots, but for the purposes of this guide, only three are important for traversal:
These three robotic creatures are the only ones usable for traversal in Horizon Zero Dawn.
How To Override Robots In Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
With the Override ability unlocked, Aloy can now hack a robot to turn it into a mount. Find locations where these robots are common, approach them quietly, and stay out of sight byhiding in tall grass. Sneak up behind them and, when close enough, press the designated button (Triangleon PlayStation, and the"E" keyon keyboard) to override these beasts.
If successful, you can now mount the robot and ride it across the land. Keep in mind, however, that mounts havelimited health, so they can become incapacitated if attacked. Later, you’ll unlock a skill thatallows you to repair your mount.
For combat, Chargers are the best option, followed by Broadheads.
How To Call Your Mount In Horizon Zero Dawn
Now that you have a mount, you might want to call it to your location for a quick getaway — or simply to avoid walking to it. Fortunately, the game lets you do just that.
First, make sure the Call Mount icon is selected in your Tool Slot, which you can do so by pressing theD-Pad left and right on a controller or the X and Z keyson a keyboard. Then, press the designated button to call your mount, which isD-Pad Down on the controller or the R keyon the keyboard. Now, your nearby mount will come to your location.
This ability works only when you already have an overridden mount nearby. However, you can bypass this conditionby unlocking the Call Mount+ skill, which allows you to summon a random overridden robot type without having to hack it first. Just ensure the Call Mount icon is selected, and whistle for a mount, and an already overridden robot will arrive at your location.
